Message from the School Nurse
Attention Grade 6 parents:
Please remember to return your child's completed physical examination if you have not already done so.
Attention Grade 7 parents:
Please remember to return proof of your child's required immunizations (Tdap and MCV) if you received a letter in June.
PLEASE NOTE: If you returned a sports physical exam for your child, most likely the immunizations were not attached as they are not required as part of the PIAA paperwork.
Any questions, please contact the nurse's office at
(610) 240-1305 - THANKS!!

T&E Care Fall Fest
The 2013 Tredyffrin & Easttown Care Fall Fest is scheduled for Saturday, November 9, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Davids Golf Club. T&E Care offers emergency or other types of support to families right in our community. The repair of a
 car, an electric shut-off notice, or a rent default are samples of the types of financial support offered. Additionally, T&E Care offers budgeting advise to families, assistance to CHS seniors (and graduates) in covering some required college-related expenses, when loans or grants are not enough. It also helps pay for summer camp for students, covers the cost of lunches for some students whose families make just over the free/reduced limits, and gets school supplies and holiday gifts for students and families. The Fall Fest is run in order to have the funding available for a quick response to these often emergency requests. The invitations will be available on the T&E Care website starting on October 8. If you can't attend but would like to support the event, raffle tickets will be sold on the website (you do not need to be present to win) and some silent auction prizes will be available for pre-bidding. Check the website for more details, or to sign up to receive information about how you can help with the important services offered by T&E Care. |
